  • December 2024 - Executive Director’s Report to MABA Members “We may all have come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” The team work of MABA’s volunteer leadership and committee members has made 2024 a great success for the organization and many of its initiatives. In the 2024 Annual Membership meeting, our president Anne Marek and I proudly presented these accomplishments. This work is the result of hard work and deliberation of individuals representing companies and organizations from across the region. While there are often different points of view and perspectives represented, the focus has been on our common mission for MABA and the biosolids sector. The words of Martin Luther King, Jr. cited above seem appropriate to demonstrate the commonality the MABA volunteers and members must take up in order to accomplish great work together.
